Basil Read and sustainability

Our business is about building legacies – roads, hospitals, schools – that enhance quality of life for thousands of people. Our approach is to ensure that lasting benefits reach all stakeholders touched by our activities, while minimising our impact on the natural environment.

We remain committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our business and the communities where we operate, in line with our international peers and best practice.

Our success as a leading company in the construction and mining sectors is driven by each individual we employ locally and internationally. We believe that better business decisions - and stronger business performance - are driven by groups of competent, high-calibre individuals operating in a diverse environment.

Respect for the environment is important for our business. We strive to minimise harm by conducting our activities in an environmentally responsible manner. Our goal is to go beyond compliance to conserve and protect our natural resources.
